Ectopic Ureter: Spectrum of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings.

Objective: This study aims to describe the MRI findings of six patients with ectopic ureters in a tertiary care institute.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on six patients presenting to the Department of Radiodiagnosis at Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital, Jaipur, India, with ectopic ureters. Data were collected from the 3 Tesla (3T) Philips MRI scanner (Koninklijke Philips N.

Slag and Bagasse Ash: Potential Binders for Sustainable Rigid Pavement.

The current study tries to cut carbon emissions by using various waste materials in place of cement, including sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), and ladle furnace slag (LFS), individually and in a combined form also, which has not been studied yet. In the same context, effort was made to utilize the maximum amount of waste materials as the replacement of cement to create a sustainable environment. Besides this, another aim is checking the performance of these waste materials as binding materials with respect to compressive strength for sustainable rigid pavement construction without activating them or using any activating solution.

Metal-free FRET macrocycles of perylenediimide and aza-BODIPY for multifunctional sensing.

Two multichromophoric FRET macrocycles M1 [1+1] and M2 [2+2] with red emission ( ∼ 721 nm) composed of perylenediimide (PDI) as the energy donor and aza-BODIPY (ABDP) as the energy acceptor were synthesized by click reaction in a metal-free fashion. M1 and M2 exhibited distinct reversible ratiometric temperature responsive emission with temperature sensitivities of 0.09-0.

Protective effect of probiotic and prebiotic fermented milk containing Lactobacillus fermentum against obesity-induced hepatic steatosis and inflammation.

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions, with major economic and health implications. The complex pathophysiology of obesity explains the difficulty provided to health policy for its clinical management. Increasing data show that obesity and metabolic abnormalities are intimately connected to differences in consumption of probiotics, its relevance to gut microbiota activity and composition.

Multi-stimuli programmable FRET based RGB absorbing antennae towards ratiometric temperature, pH and multiple metal ion sensing.

A red-green-blue (RGB) multichromophoric antenna 1 consisting of energy donors naphthalimides and perylenediimides and a central aza-BODIPY energy acceptor along with two subchromophoric red-blue (RB 6) and green-blue (GB 12) antennae was designed that showed efficient cascade Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). RGB antenna 1 showed pronounced temperature-dependent emission behaviour where emission intensities in green and red channels could be tuned in opposite directions by temperature giving rise to unique ratiometric sensing with a temperature sensitivity of 0.4% °C.

Actinobacteria Mediated Nanoparticles: A Pioneering Technology for Agriculture.

The induction of nanotechnology prevails against several issues threatening healthiness of plants and presents a powerful mean to defeat food crisis in a world of oversized inhabitants. Nanotechnology contributes numerous gadgets and constituents as nanostructures such as nano herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers and biosensors which play momentous roles in killing/suppression of weeds and pests, ingenious supply of nutrients and nourishing substances in soils. Actinobacteria, a class of microorganisms is known for production of antibiotics, growth promoting substances, hydrolytic enzymes and volatile compounds.

Significance of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi for Acacia: A Review.

Microbes play a vital role in ecosystem stability. Here, microbes-Acacia association is discussed with particular reference to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) which help in the establishment of crop-plants, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. The association helps to restore the structural composition of soil from the hazardous impact of agrochemicals, increase resistance against various pathogenic attack as well as several abiotic stresses.

Molecular link between dietary fibre, gut microbiota and health.

Natural polysaccharides cellulose, hemicelluloses, inulin etc., galactooligosaccharides (GOS), and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) play a significant role in the improvement of gut microbiota balance and human health. These polysaccharides prevent pathogen adhesion that stimulates the immune system and gut barrier function by servicing as fermentable substrates for the gut microbiota.

On two new species of the genus Cornudescoides Kulkarni, 1969 (Monogenea: Ancyrocephalinae) from a freshwater fish Mystus vittatus from Meerut (U.P.), India.

During study of freshwater monogeneans of Meerut region, we came across five infected specimen of fish Mystus vittatus, infected with monogeneans belonging to the genus Cornudescoides Kulkarni 1969. On subsequent study, the worms appear new to us and are described here in as such. C.

Neuroanatomy of Cornudescoides kulkarnii n. sp., a gill parasite of Mystus vittatus in Meerut (UP), India.

Chemical named 5-bromo indoxyl acetate has been used to describe the nervous system of a viviparous monogenean Cornudescoides Kulkarni (1969), a gill parasite of Mystus vittatus. Central nervous system consists of paired cerebral ganglia from which anterior and posterior neuronal pathways arise. These neuronal pathways are interlinked by cross connectives and commissures.

Management of a patient with a taurodont, single-rooted molars associated with multiple dental anomalies: a spiral computerized tomography evaluation.

Anomalies, though rare, are potential restorative and endodontic challenges. This case report presents a unique case with a bizarre combination of anomalies, including single conical unbifurcated posterior root forms, taurodontism, dens invaginatus, prominent labial lobes of the canines, pyramidal cusps of the premolars, dens evaginatii of the molar crowns, and localized reduction in tooth size involving the entire dentition without any other apparent systemic complication. On literature review, only 4 such cases were found to be reported.
